Improving Learning in Mathematics (Standards Units) Rich Tasks
The "Improving Learning in Mathematics" (or Standards Units)
resources are, in my opinion, some of the finest ever produced.
They are rich, challenging, well thought-out and well resourced.
In short, I love them.
From the NCETM website:
"This multi-media resource has been developed with teachers,
trainers and managers. Improving Learning in Mathematics builds
on existing successful practice and explores approaches that
encourage a more active way of learning through the use of group
work, discussion and open questioning. Learners are encouraged
to ‘have a go’, become more independent and reflective about
their mathematics, to learn to think mathematically rather than
simply learning rules and most importantly, to enjoy their
mathematics"
Mature_Maths_Trainee
has kindly created and shared "classroom ready" versions of these
outstanding resources, which not only save you a lot of time, but
also contain tips, words or caution, and examples of students'
work to help you have the most effective teaching and learning
experience possible.
Below are the pdfs and PowerPoints of the main activities which I
have found really engage and challenge my students. I would
strongly recommend you give them a try!
